This study explores the peer and economic effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior. Using the data of A-share non-financial listed corporates in Shanghai and Shenzhen of China from 2016 to 2020, the empirical analysis of this study finds that: corporate poverty alleviation behavior has significant peer effects; the guidance of local poverty alleviation policies weakens the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior; compared to private enterprises, the poverty alleviation behavior of the peer firms has a more significant impact on state-owned enterprises; and corporate poverty alleviation behavior can result in the backflow of economic benefits and achieve the organic unity of economic and social benefits. The purpose of this paper is to explore the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behaviors through empirical analysis using available public data. The results of the study not only increase the motivation of corporate to participate in poverty alleviation from a peer effects perspective, but also reveal key factors for sustaining corporate poverty alleviation behaviors.
本研究探讨了企业扶贫行为的同行和经济效应。利用中国 2016 年至 2020 年上海和深圳 A 股非金融上市公司的数据，本研究的实证分析发现：企业扶贫行为具有显著的同行效应；地方扶贫政策的引导削弱了企业扶贫行为的同行效应；与民营企业相比，同行企业的扶贫行为对国有企业的影响更为显著；企业扶贫行为可以带来经济效益的回流，实现经济和社会效益的有机统一。本文旨在通过利用现有公开数据进行实证分析，探讨企业扶贫行为的同行效应。本研究的结果不仅从同行效应的角度增加了企业参与扶贫的动机，还揭示了维持企业扶贫行为的关键因素。
